1113532 - Improve animation in Heartbeat infobar

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Normandy Client, defect)

Description

[(Currently slow to respond) Philipp Sackl [:phlsa] (Firefox UX) please use needinfo]

The animation of the Firefox logo in the heartbeat infobar feels a little sluggish. Here's a spec of what it should feel like:

(reload the page to replay the animation, see the source CSS for timing values)

Hey! I would like to work on this bug. As this bug is my first, can someone guide me, as to where should I start from?

Hi Hamzah. The code that powers this animation comes from this file: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/normandy/lib/Heartbeat.jsm

If you have more questions, I'd encourage you to join us in #normandy on IRC or Slack.

Philipp, it seems your link is broken now. Can you provide a more up-to-date one?

Sorry, it looks like that file is gone. I can't find it anywhere on my hard drive or on Github where I usually put stuff like this. Since I filed this 4 years ago, I honestly can't remember what the animation even looked like.

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry we never got to this bug, but I think at this point it would be best to close it. I'm open to other suggestions to improve Heartbeat in the future.
